Grass is growing, birds are singing, temperatures are rising, the sun sets later every night and outdoor cooking is getting into full swing. McCormick's is wanting to help one lucky Nibble Me This reader kick their grilling season into gear by giving away this sample package.

This package includes the following new Grill Mates rubs, marinade mixes and Lawry's bottled marinades that I have utilized during the past week.

Brown Sugar Bourbon MarinadeGoes with beef, chicken, pork or shrimp. I used it to grill this flank steak. We thought it had very good flavor but I'd suggest adding 1 Tbsp of bourbon when mixing up the wet and dry ingredients if you're looking for that mellow bite of real bourbon.Lawry's Szechuan Sweet and Sour BBQGreat for chicken, pork, or beef. This marinade quickly brought flavor and that classic sweet and sour color to grilled chicken. If you are tired of your normal grilled chicken, shake things up and use this marinade and serve with stir fried veggies and sweet jasmine rice. That's what we did.Apple Wood RubApple and pork go together like.....well, like Pete Brady said on the Brady Bunch, "Pork chops and apple saaauuuuche". So I used this rub to grill some boneless pork chops and used one of our standard glazes. It produced a nice flavor that complimented the chops but didn't make them too strong.Lawry's Tuscan Sun Dried Tomato with Minced Garlic and Olive OilI used this rustic marinade on some fantastic grilled chicken breasts with some Tuscan fries and grilled zucchini. I think this one was Brett's favorite.Smokehouse Maple RubThis smoky and sweet spice rub really delivered on a half rack of smoked spare ribs.Mexican Fiesta MarinadeYou could use this one for beef or chicken fajitas on the grill. I used it to make chimichangas with fajita chicken, beans, cheese, roasted peppers, and served with a southwestern queso sauce for dipping.So how do you enter for the chance to win this Grill Mates ultimate care package?

Alright you guys got a McCormick sponsored giveaway, and I am not surprised. Congratulations, just checking in to see what we are cooking this weekend? Looks like My Captain John has been shopping Green Eggs, wonder why? um

This is an awesome giveaway Chris and I want them all:D Maybe if I win I can convince my husband to do more cooking? If not, I'm sure I would have a field day thinking of ways to use all these goodies!

P.S. I was Krogering tonight and saw that they have those circular cast-iron kebab holders. I know you wanted some of those awhile back. It was in the seasonal/holiday aisle. I hope you can find them in your local Kroger store.

Do I get extra points if my great grandmothers maiden name was Lawry? No? Ok...then just count me in for the one entry I'm allowed. I think the Buffalo Chicken Pizza would be awesome....'specially on the grill!

I had no idea until your posts that McCormick had this wide variety of rubs and seasonings for grilling and I've been drooling over your posts so definitely count me in on this! I'm digging those Applewood Rubbed Ribs over there for sure, although I gotta admit there are some great recipes over there.

I have tried a couple of the new McCormick's marinades - Mojito Lime and Baja Citrus. Pretty tasty! However, don't marinate too long if you are cooking chicken breasts. The taste can be a little overpowering. Count me in on the drawing!

Since I love the taste of blue cheese, I would have to say the "Feelin' Blue Burgers," would be a favorite to try.I came upon your site from "Welcome to OuR KrAzy kItChEn." I am now following your site and you can be sure that I will return. The Lawry's Szechuan Sweet and Sour BBQ looks awesome!
